The gray areas of the law here, from the Front Page Sections, translated…
A woman who was from China originally works in a bar, accompanied men to drink, four officers in plain clothes pretended they were male clients, came into the bar to drink, Lin came on to them, asked them to play a game of strip-dice, she’d lost everything, so she’d taken her clothes off and started dancing around naked. The officers showed their badges, arrested the woman, Lin, along with the owner of the bar, for public indecency, but the D.A. believed, that the doors to the rooms were not opened, that it’d not reached the extent of “public” indecency, dropped the charges.
“So, nobody’s getting arrested for stripping at a bar from here on out,” an entry-level officer working in Keelung told, that there were, many small food shops locally, the police department was doing a sweep for strippers from before, and now, they’re letting the offenders get off easy, that the D.A. first asked the officers not to aid to the happenings of the incidences, and now, they’re claiming, that so long as the doors are closed, it would be okay. That this is very confusing.
The attorney, Ke said, a certain karaoke bar in Keelung hired the woman in her fifties, Lin, to accompany the male clients, how would she strip herself openly? And that although the door to the box was closed, but it wasn’t locked, that the waiters and waitresses can walk in and out without fail, that the woman had gone off on her own, started stripping, as the men started drinking, that it wasn’t in “public”, and dropped the charges, and this is an isolated incident.
The police investigated, that a certain karaoke in Keelung had hired the fifty-year-old woman, Lin, to accompany the male drinkers, four officers of the law who were undercover walked in late one evening last October, Lin ushered them in, and called on three other ladies, to lead the officers into the box to drink. In order to get it going, Lin first started a game of dice, and set up the rules that the person who tossed out the least number of points is the loser, that if she’d lost, she would take off an article of clothing, that if the men lost, they would have to drink shots, plus tipping her $200N.T. each time they’d lost.
Lin got really into the games, started stripping off her shirt, her pants, then her panties and her bras, and, within the hour, she’d become, totally exposed, and started dancing around naked; then, the officers showed her their badge, and took Lin, as well as the owner of the pub in.
The female bar owner claimed that she didn’t know that Lin was stripping her clothes off, that there was no such services provided in her bar; Lin admitted to stripping down, but said, that it was because she’d had too much to drink that she’d lost her inhibitions. The officers who were undercover said, that the bar didn’t offer the entertainment of striptease, that it was Lin herself that started the game of dice with them inside the box, and the doors to the box were shut, that only those inside can see what was going on in there, that other customers from the outside couldn’t get in at anytime they wished, that it’d not constituted as “public”, that it’d not matched up to the requirement for it to be processed as “public indecency”.
And, because there’s this GRAY area, that, is why it’s a loophole, and, surely enough, this case, if it didn’t stand in court, then, it makes way for ALL the other cases like this one, and, you will soon have women walking around naked inside bars, because it’s not in “public”, it’s in a confined, closed in space, who the HELL you kidding here???
